"C'est donc la salle de conférence principale où nous avons nos réunions d'entreprise ou où les partenaires se rencontrent. Là-bas, il y a la salle de pause où tout le monde se détend et boit du café ou déjeune. Là-bas, il y a la salle de classement où toutes nos affaires sont organisées et classées. Et...voici le bureau de Gabriel." (So this is the main conference room where we have our company meetings or where the partners meet. Over there is the break room which is basically where everyone relaxes and drinks coffee or eat lunch. Over there is the filing room where all our cases are organized and filed away. And...here is Gabriel's office.)

I stand in front of the door to Gabriel's office as I finish giving Julien a tour of the company. I was rudely awoken this morning by Gabriel telling me I had to come in earlier than his assitant told me so Julien wouldn't be by himself because he had an emergency meeting. He then told me if I was a minute late, he would know, and there would be consequences.

I internally roll my eyes. It looks like we're back to where we started.

"Malheureusement, Gabriel a eu une réunion avec les partenaires ce matin, c'est pourquoi il n'a pas pu se joindre à nous. Il voulait que je vous demande si vous étiez libre pour le dîner ce soir."(Unfortunately, Gabriel had a meeting with the partners this morning, which is why he couldn't join us. He wanted me to ask if you were free for dinner tonight, though.)

"Tu te joindras à nous?" (Will you be joining us?)

"La conversation serait assez ennuyeuse si je n'étais pas si oui. Je te rejoindrai ce soir." (The conversation would be pretty boring if I weren't, so, yes. I will be joining you tonight.)

He smiles at me and steps just a bit closer, forcing my back against Gabriel's door. "J'ai hâte." (I can't wait.) 

His eyes catch mine, and I can't help but stare. We don't say anything for a moment.

"Ambrose!" 

I shake myself out of the trance and look behind Julien to see Piper and Phoebe. 

They come closer to us, and once Julien turns and sees them, Phoebe sort of stumbles.

"Hot damn." I hear her mumble. 

"We're so sorry to interrupt, but we kinda need Ambrose," Piper tells Julien.

Julien looks between them and then to me, confused.

"He doesn't speak good English. He's from France." I tell her.

"Oh. So he's French too." Phoebe raises her eyebrows in a teasing way and looks at me.

"Absolutely not. No way. He is a client." I tell her sternly. I turn back to Julien. "Malheureusement, je dois y aller. La société a une voiture qui vous attend en bas où nous nous sommes rencontrés et elle a déjà été payée. Je te vois ce soir." (Unfortunately, I have to go. The company has a car waiting for you downstairs where we met and it's already been paid for. I'll see you tonight.)

"A ce soir Ambrose." (See you tonight, Ambrose.)

I let my cousins drag me away towards the elevator. Julien waves and smiles as the doors close.

When they do, Phoebe lets out a loud squeal. I cover my ears and look at her like she's crazy.

"What is the matter with you?" I ask her.

She looks at me incredulously and looks at Piper. "Tell me I'm not blind. Was that not a very attractive man in there?"

"Phoebe, I have a husband."
